Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 351 The Ancient Species Have Been Reviveed?

Under the sunlight, the cordyceps easily broke through the Nine-Heart Flower Fairy's defenses and mercilessly devoured the Nine-Heart Flower Fairy's flesh and blood. The Nine-Heart Flower Fairy tried to use its force field skill to resist, but the insect inside its body, which emitted high heat like a small sun, made it impossible for it to mobilize its power.

Bug-type has an extra advantage against plant-type, not to mention it's a mythical Bug-type bloodline.

Finally, when the cordyceps's seven-colored tentacles emerged from the head of the Nine-Heart Flower Fairy, the Nine-Heart Flower Fairy stopped struggling, and its nine-colored petals fell one by one, gradually losing its vitality.

"Chief, I did it!"

Cordyceps was clearly excited after killing a king-level creature on its own for the first time.

"Although it's only a newly evolved creature, it's still a king-like being, not bad."

Bai Qichao gave Cordyceps a thumbs up, but he wasn't surprised.

Although the Nine-Heart Flower Fairy is a monarch-level creature, the Cordyceps is also a rare dual-lord bloodline symbiotic species, and it even has the bloodline of the mythical creature, the Sun Wheel Beetle. Ordinary monarchs may not be able to create much of a difference.

Furthermore, since all the abilities displayed by the Nine-Heart Flower Fairy were countered by Cordyceps, it was reasonable for Cordyceps to win.

However, since it was a battle against a higher-level opponent, it still deserves praise.

"See if you can find any resources, Delta, go and help."

Bai Qi patted Delta, signaling her to go up and help, and then took out the task board and operated it for a while.

"I've already uploaded the mission report. You can go back and collect your rewards directly."

Bai Qi waved the quest board at the group and said, "The ferocious beasts have been behaving extremely violently lately, so it's best not to go to such dangerous places unless absolutely necessary."

Wang Jun and Li Shi exchanged glances, then unconsciously looked at Cordyceps and Delta, who were dealing with the Nine-Heart Flower Fairy.

Why does it sound so strange coming from you?

"Bai Qi, aren't you going back to Gusu City?"

Teacher Li glanced at Bai Qi somewhat embarrassedly and asked timidly.

"I have a few tasks to do along the way, so I'm not in a hurry to go back."

Bai Qi glanced at the mission board, then summoned Shuke, and the two of them began planning their next route.

"Wow, Bai Qi, you're so amazing, those ferocious beasts are no problem for you."

Upon hearing this, Li Shi nodded repeatedly, standing aside with an expression of admiration as he looked at Bai Qi. Wu Yi's expression became increasingly distorted after seeing Li Shi's appearance.

This guy stole the spotlight again.

"The Goddess of Light Butterfly, let's go..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yi immediately wanted to prove himself, only to find that his own Goddess of Light Butterfly had somehow appeared beside the Cordyceps, diligently circling around it.

As a mythical creature, Cordyceps naturally enhances the friendliness and deterrence of other insect-type creatures. Moreover, the Goddess of Light Butterfly is a creature that yearns for light, and Cordyceps, which has not yet lost its sunlight, is no different from a god descending to earth to her.

"Morphoenix Butterfly, can't you be a little more dignified?!"

Seeing this, Wu Yi became even angrier, but after seeing the Nine Heart Flower Fairy that had been almost completely destroyed, he silently endured it.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully young people into poverty!

As Delta's knowledge of biology deepened, her skills in extracting resources became increasingly refined. Soon, she returned to Bai Qi's side with a seed that shone with brilliant light.

"The Heart of Nine Apertures? It's a pity it's not fully matured, otherwise the Bright Aperture Elixir made from it would probably be effective even for legendary figures."

Master Li glanced at the Nine-Aperture Heart in Bai Qi's hand and sighed with some regret.

"A potion to brighten the senses? What's that?"

Bai Qi looked at Li Shi with some doubt upon hearing this, while Shu Ke quickly found the information and said, "Mingqiao Potion, a mental enhancement potion, can temporarily amplify the mental power of a beast tamer and strengthen the effect of their talent."

"Is that so..."

Bai Qi nodded. A potion that could enhance the effects of one's talents was indeed a good thing, but it wouldn't have much effect on him.

After all, he had tried similar medicines and even supplements, but apart from restoring mental strength, they had no effect on the Evolution Egg.

In comparison, it's better to use it to enhance the effects of pets.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi tossed the Nine Apertures Heart into the Cordyceps's hand, and the material catalog immediately displayed the specific data.

[Material Name]: Heart with Nine Apertures (Immature)

[Material Grade]: Epic

[Material Introduction]: The essence of the Nine-Heart Flower Fairy, which can be used to control the actions of enemies. If the ripening time is too short, the effect will be greatly reduced.

[Material Effects]: Can obtain: Nine Hearts Bewitching Soul (Advanced -55%), Mental Enhancement (Enhancement -34%), Unknown (11%)

……

Compared to legendary resources, epic resources offer significantly fewer acquisition options, and even this level is causing Bai Qi considerable distress.

"Damn, that was fast!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi felt a sharp pain in his heart. It was already epic-level before it was even mature. If it were to mature, wouldn't it most likely become a legendary-level resource?

"A huge loss, a huge loss!"

Seeing Bai Qi's heartbroken expression, Wu Yi was somewhat confused, but for some reason, he suddenly felt much better.

Seeing this guy get thwarted is a good way to recoup the losses.

Seeing this, Master Li couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Bai Qi, do you really want the Nine-Aperture Heart? I can keep an eye out for it for you."

Bai Qi looked at Li Shi with some surprise.

"Master Li's father is the heir to a famous family of pharmacists in the Federation. They have all sorts of strange and unusual plants. If you want the Nine Aperture Heart, Master Li's family is the most likely candidate."

Upon seeing this, Wang Jun immediately offered an explanation, and Bai Qi finally understood.

No wonder both times I encountered Master Li and the others, they were looking for plant-type ferocious beasts; it turns out they were collecting materials for potions.

"Thank you, but it's not an urgent need for me. I'll ask you for help again later."

Bai Qi put away his Nine Apertures Heart, then mounted Delta and said, "I have to continue my mission, so I'll be going now."

After saying that, Delta transformed into a Quetzalcoatl and disappeared into the sky.

"So, should we go back now?"

Wu Yi grabbed the somewhat reluctant Goddess of Light Butterfly, looked at Li Shi beside him who also looked disappointed, and said.

"Let's go back first. Our levels are too low, so we shouldn't go to places too far from the city for now."

Wang Jun nodded and said to Li Shi, "Xiao Shi, this place is closer to Lingxi City. Why don't you come to my house for a while?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Li Shi did not refuse, and although Wu Yi wanted to follow, Wang Jun did not give him the chance. He pulled Li Shi along and headed directly towards Lingxi City.

"hateful."

Seeing this, Wu Yi couldn't help but curse under his breath. He wanted to persuade her to stay but didn't know how to say it, so he just walked back the way he came with his head down.

Chirp?

The Goddess of Light Butterfly then noticed her Beastmaster's unusual behavior and curiously approached him, only to be forcefully tapped on the head by Wu Yi.

"Go back and train with me, otherwise who knows if you'll run off with some random wild insects next time."

……

Secret base.

After parting ways with Wu Yi and the others, Bai Qi returned directly to the secret realm base and used the Nine Apertures Heart on Cordyceps.

Although it's just an epic-level material, the option "unknown" appeared on it.

Based on his research on the material encyclopedia these past few days, this means that there is a certain probability that the Nine-Heart Begonia can be fused and upgraded with the known skills of Cordyceps.

Cordyceps currently possesses only advanced skills, so if an unknown probability is triggered, it will inevitably become a super skill.

"I wonder what skills I'll gain."

Bai Qi glanced expectantly at the platinum egg formed from the cordyceps, and after confirming that it would not awaken in the short term, he went to the research lab to check on the progress of the Death Chain research.

"Yu, how's the analysis going?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a holographic projection that looked exactly like Bai Qi appeared beside him and said, "This metal is not one that the Federation has discovered so far. It should be a specially made alloy. We have only analyzed 0.12% so far."

"Only this much?"

Bai Qi frowned slightly. The special metal that could withstand the power of death was indeed not so easy to break.

"Let's treat this as a long-term project and resume research on other projects."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Yu nodded and relayed Bai Qi's order to the Nine Cauldrons System, restarting the previously sealed sub-projects.

"There's one more thing. Grandpa, your parents sent you a message saying they'll be back in Gusu City in a few days. Please don't go anywhere else."

"Mom and Dad are coming back? Could it be that the ancient species has successfully resurrected?"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yu, keep an eye on the recent news, and remember to let me know if there's any news related to ancient species."

"OK."

Yu agreed, but Bai Qi put down what he was doing and headed straight for the biological area.

He almost forgot that he also had an ancient egg here, which had been soaking in compound number five for so long, and he wondered how it was doing.

Bai Qi ran to the biological area and called Delta, who was checking new compound data, to look at the data of the fossil egg together.

Compared to before, the fossil egg's color was significantly brighter, and even through the glass, one could feel the vitality emanating from it. The data displayed by the instrument next to it further confirmed Bai Qi's guess.

"Delta, can this egg be brought to life?"

Bubbling.

(From a survival perspective, it should be fine, but we've encountered a problem.)

"The problem? What's the problem?"

Delta pointed to the fossilized egg soaking in Compound No. 5, a look of helplessness on his face.

(This egg cannot be separated from compound five at present, otherwise it will quickly lose its vitality, so I think it's best not to revive it easily for the time being.)

"I see... Then I'll ask Mom and Dad when they get back."

Bai Qi nodded slightly. Although the Jiuli Consortium was expected to launch the ancient species soon, giving up halfway was not Bai Qi's habit. Now that he had picked up this egg, he had to finish the job.

"However, being unable to leave compound five is indeed a bit of a problem; we can't be on an IV drip all the time."

Bai Qi smacked his lips, and suddenly a brilliant idea flashed in his mind.

It's indeed inappropriate to have an IV drip attached, but wouldn't it be better to switch to rune-infused mechanical armor?
